According to this ArsTechnica article, its local.

Yu describes the collection as "games created in the '80s by a fictional company that was obscure but ahead of its time." He insists UFO 50 is not a collection of "micro-games" and estimates that "hundreds of hours" are required to beat them all. He says roughly one-third of the included games will support local multiplayer.

Note that its "supports local multiplayer", so I would guess the majority are solo games with 2p modes rather than multiplayer-only titles. Still, with 50 games even if a few were MP only that would be ok.
